Nigeria Declares State Of Emergency: "Everyone In The World Is At Risk" From Ebola, CDC Issues Level 1 "All-Hands Call"

With over 932 dead, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued its highest level alert for an all-hands on deck response to the crisis in West Africa (that is spreading across the world). While President Obama proclaimed we are prepared and itis "not easily transmitted," it appears that is not entirely true. Meanwhile, CDC Director Frieden's "deep concerns" have been confirmed as Nigeria’s health minister has declared a health emergency as the deadly Ebola virus gained a foothold in Africa’s most populous nation, according to news reports. Nigerian authorities moved quickly late Wednesday, gathering isolation tents as five more cases of the Ebola Virus were confirmed in Lagos (the world's 4th most populous city with 21 million people). Most international flights from West Africa are also now screening passengers.

Nigeria’s health minister has declared a health emergency as the deadly Ebola virus gained a foothold in Africa’s most populous nation, according to news reports.

“This is a national emergency. Everyone in the world today is at risk. The experience of Nigeria opens the eyes of the world,” Minister of Health Onyebuchi Chukwu told the country’s House of Representatives. Nigerian authorities moved quickly late Wednesday, gathering isolation tents as five more cases of the Ebola Virus were confirmed in Lagos, a city bursting with 21 million people.

All five people are believed to be health workers who had direct contact with one man traveling from Ebola-ridden Liberia to Nigeria — making this country the fourth now infiltrated by the deadly disease.

...

“Yesterday the first known Nigerian to die of Ebola was recorded,” Chukwu told reporters in Abuja on Wednesday. “This was one of the nurses that attended to the Liberian. The other five [newly confirmed] cases are being treated at an isolation ward.”

Idris said this is the time “for everyone to be vigilant, especially with regard to relating to people who are ill.”

Most international airlines flying to West Africa in the grip of the deadly Ebola outbreak are counting on stepped-up passenger screening as they continue serving the region.

Air France fliers in some cities must complete health questionnaires and be checked for symptoms, including an elevated temperature, before boarding cards are issued. Delta Air Lines Inc. said travelers are being checked at the airport in Monrovia, Liberia, one of the countries hit by Ebola.

Only two airlines have suspended flights to West Africa so far, with British Airways opting yesterday to join Gulf carrier Emirates in pulling back.

U.S. carriers “that fly to the affected countries remain in steady contact with government agencies and health officials, and have procedures in place to monitor and quickly respond to potential health concerns,” said Victoria Day, a spokeswoman for the Washington-based Airlines for America trade group.

Barack Obama says that Ebola is "not something that is easily transmitted" and that everything is under control...

#1 "Even in the United States, out of all the various hospitals I have worked at, there is no hope of containing anything like this. One of the largest hospitals I worked at only had two reverse flow isolation rooms. TWO, let that sink in for a minute."

#2 "Patients only show up to the hospital when they go symptomatic. So by the time they get there, they've already infected their entire family, their work group, and anyone they got within a few feet of on the way to the hospital. When they get there the ER nurses would treat it either like Flu, or Sepsis. But the whole time the patient is infecting all of them. And all of them, in turn, begin to infect everyone else in the exact same way. If this is as virulent as the WHO thinks it might be, by the time people realize what is going on, there will be more sick people than there would be beds available at every hospital in the US combined."

#3 "So don't expect miracles from front line hospital staff, we don't have the tools, and we certainly do not have the manpower. Ask anyone in the medical field how much overtime they could work if they felt like it, don't even get me started on how thinly stretched people in the industry are. Though I suppose if this does turn into something, that will become apparent very, very fast."

There is no way in the world that our medical professionals are going to be able to handle a full-blown Ebola pandemic.

My family has been in the health care industry for more than 80 years combining three generations. Everything they say in the comments above is an understatement. Sadly, it's even worse than they say, the reason is that the way ER titration of patients works, patients exhibiting flu like symptoms, including vomiting will be titrated last as of current procedures and thus made to wait for hours, some times 4 to 6 hours before somebody sees them. By that time they'd have contaminated 20 to 30 people on the average size ER in the US. Once they suspect that they have the virus, it'll take them 48 to 72 hours to get the verification done. So, unless they are ready to isolate millions of people, it'll be impossible to handle. Specially with flu season coming as the epidemic grows exponentially in Nigeria.

Unless a quick test is designed and the supply chain strategy worked out to get a test done in hours anywhere in the US, there will be no way of stopping this.

This leads to prioritization, where anybody who does the mathematical analysis will see that the only way to control the propagation is to set up your defenses where you can succeed at controlling the propagation of the disease, and then isolating the places where you can't control propagation and letting them burn out, that is, outside of the places you have protected. The problem is that it will be hard to distinguish if your are locking people where you can't control propagation out, of if your are locking people where you can control propagation in.

By the way, epidemiology is based on relatively simple mathematics and vector analysis, where vectors here refer to the propagation vectors.

Thank you for sharing your experience/background. Accurate info is so valuable in these situations. Any comments on the exerpt below from the previous thread? I posted later in the evening AK time and most folks might have missed it. Reposting for convenience. NOTE: due to the size of the thread - links only work if you are logged in.

I have enjoyed your perspective on other posts and was wanting to ask a curious question that I am sure is of ancillary interest to others on ZH, although my situation is unusual.

If this variant of Ebola has legs (i.e. it is more communicable) and genuinely begins to spread, what is your opinion as to how that might play out in a modern world with air travel, sea travel, porous borders, and the like? To be specific, could a small town genuinely "block off its major roads" and have a legitimate benefit? I can see where cities would be screwed, given population density, but is there a point where the sparsity really begins to matter?

Take me as an example. I live in a small town in Alaska (30k) people with no roads in or out; folks come in by boat or by plane. If this got serious, is *all* air travel really going to stop? Water based traffic? Road traffic? This will significantly interrupt food supplies, fuel supplies, etc, so it might go on for a little while, but to do so in excess of the incubation plus illness phase could easily be 45 days which is likely well beyond most peoples resources to "self-quarantine".

In parallel, do the "super wealthy" really have an out hiding on a desert island or equivalent, waiting for things to blow over? This might either substantiate or dismiss claims by some with regards to chance it is intended or natural (we do have a lot of crazy shit going on right now - that is for sure).

How you reply might be informative for others in similar rural situations where the only difference might only really be road access.

I know this is speculative by nature, but you clearly seem to be both (1) a legitimate ZH poster and (2) interested in sharing informed opinions.

Please take what I have to say as my opinion only. Everyone is very concerned over this including myself but I DONT want to cause panic. We need our heads straight to deal with this, possibly serious, threat.

I think you should focus on the pandemic flu of 1917 as a possible answer to your question. Even then,with limited travel as compared to today, Alaska saw significant deaths from Influenza. There are so many theories why this flu was so virulent and I'm not sure if one or multiple concurrent variables were at play. But what I wish for you to take away from is that remoteness is no guarantee of safety. Not to scare you but to induce you not to be complacent. Look at the Black Plague for answers as well. What people fail to realize was there were multiple outbreaks. Each wave flowing over regions, to burn out and then erupt again. So, when people thought it was safe and resumed commerce, it hit again.

It is possible for Ebola just to burn out. This is how small pox was eradicated. With no insect vector nor animal reservoir, when the last person died it was over. Ebola has an animal reservoir. If it can establish one in this country we are finished because it will have the possibility hide for years before erupting again when it finds a sufficient host.

If you seriously plan to ride this out if it becomes a serious pandemic, you need to put up enough food/water/ supplies for YEARS and this means no contact with anyone. Not very practical for most including me. The uber wealthy during the Black Plague did retreat to their vast estates and did not suffer as the commoners but it was not 100%. Remember, if you venture out prematurely you are exposed to the agent and you have no better immunity then anyone else. There is something to be said for virulence dropping over time. When the polio vaccine was developed, cases were dropping in incidence. The vaccine simply dropped it faster. Ebola, over time, may lose virulence but historically this hasn't been the case until after millions have succumbed.

I'm sorry. I'm really sounding negative and fatalistic. I'm not intending to be so, just honest. Frankly I hope someone posts proof I'm way off the mark here and I will sleep better myself. I much rather be branded the tin foil hat loser than be correct.

Absolute horeshit! Quit pimping out your fucking rag while you are at it.

And YES, I do take CS, and have seen ZERO effectiveness on a virus. For bacterial infections it has no equal, especially for topical use.

Quit the BS and put up or shut up with this crap links.

Quote from your link: "flesh-eating Ebola virus" (muddying the water with a flesh eating bacteria found in warm, brackish water.

"They tell us that because the Ebola Virus strain devastating West Africa is a novel one, no antibiotic can touch it and that the organism has an astonishing kill rate of 90%."

Antibiotics cannot kill it not because it is a novel virus, but because it IS a VIRUS.

"And the kill rate for this disease of convenience, genetically engineered to be more deadly than ever before, just happens, I am sure coincidentally, to be the exact number depopulationists like Bill Gates and George Soros have wet dreams about: 90%."

Sure would love a reference on that besides circular forum posts.

"The US government study (declassified in 2009) which showed definitively that Nano Silver at 10 PPM is the definitive prevention and therapy for Ebola virus “somehow” got “overlooked.” We do not know how long before that the work actually took place, but the US civilian authorities knew not later than 2009 that there is a cure, treatment and prevention for Ebola virus"

WTFF?

"“THERE IS NO CURE, NO PREVENTION AND NO TREATMENT” for this disease apparently engineered at a Level II Biosecurity Laboratory inside Kenama Hospital in Sierra Leone. As a matter of public record, the Level II BioSecurityfacility was funded by George Soros, Bill and Melinda Gates, the US, WHO, Tulane University and a bunch of other bad actors who apparently want to see most of us dead."

Go piss on a fence with this shit. If you want to pimp out your miraculous cures, pony up and BUY some space here, I am sure that Tyler would not care.

the weak spot as i see it is the plane itself, if one person gets sick on it it lands they get off and the plane takes off with another raft of the soon to be infected, it lands with the newly infected and takes off again ect... till the whole world is quickly infected, a couple days at the most.

Those tiny little bathrooms on the plane sure don't help. It's hard to keep sanitary in there even when you are healthy, much less when you are starting to get feverish and if there's a bit of turbulence. So if someone comes down with symptoms on a long flight and is using those facilities, it seems to me the easiest way to spread. Obviously if you are sitting next to them in a crowded coach seat it's not good either, but on a long plane ride all the passengers are going to use the restroom eventually.

John Rappaport and Jim Stone already cracked this one, folks. The "scare" is massively over-hyped, and the cure is simple: Lots of Vitamin-C. Silver doesn't touch viruses, but Vitamin-C does. I would add iodine to that as well, because it strengthens the immune system. Iosol or LL's Magnetic Nascent Iodine are some of the best.

And then there is the dependable Mailman (or Mailperson, if you wish) - delivering to us thru rain, sleet or snow, dropping the days post thru my front door mailslot after it has been handled by who knows how many individuals on its trip to my home.

And to think that just a few days ago the CDC was touting the safety, and lack of outbreak likelyhood in the US.

As always, the government lies. They are truly sick bastards who should be incarcerated as the criminals that they are. Like the MSM, they have this parent-child mentality towards us, and think that whatever they do is because we are incapable of understanding the truth of the situation and dealing with it appropriately.

"Triage" has another use, and anyone from the military or disaster training will know. When there are huge numbers of wounded you deploy a triage proccess to decide which injured are treatable and move them forward, and anyone who is likely to die shortly is given a sedative and moved to the side.

Yeah we'll be seeing a lot of "triage" in the future, but not the good kind either. Hospitals will become places where you go to die, and that's all.

Once this thing becomes "shit got real" on our door step, does anyone think that any health care worker is really going to go to work, esp those that actually do something such as housekeeping, or a CNA, or even a RN?

Basically, just basic services would cease to function, for people would either be dead, dying, or terrified (rightfully so) to leave home.

Healthcare workers are a dedicated bunch. I've worked around quite a few, and most of them absolutely will go right in there. They'll be scared, but they are driven by compassion and duty, so they'll go.

We will lose a few of them. Maybe, a lot of them.

This is so sad. I don't know what to say except I wish them luck, and be safe, and come back.

As for vectors, they are already mostly around sick and dying people -- and during a national emergency wouldn't even be going home for days or weeks at a time -- so the matter of transmission it rather moot, don't you think?

Priests were hit hard in Europe's plagues, precisely because of this aspect of their job. There are stories of priests already ill by the time they'd finished performing the last rites.

Having spent some times in and out of hospitals, I agree with Spine01 that there would not be any containment. Seems like half of doctors wear their scrubs and coats outside during breaks or on the way home. Lots of hospital workers go out at least once per day to get lunch. The non-medical staff too.

Point is, there are no serious containment procedures in place at any hospital, visitors and employees come and go as they please, everyone breathes the same air, shares bathrooms, etc. Unless the entire hospital staff is going to be outfitted with NBC suits and/or the facility hermetically sealed in a giant plastic tent, there is essentially no chance of good containment. A hospital might as well be a restaurant or an airport. Transmission is not moot, it's how epidemics happen and why they are essentially impossible to stop. The fact that there is still international shipping and travel occurring to and from central and western Africa at this moment tells me all I need to know - no one is serious about containment if it means even a minor inconvenience to business as usual - the airport "screenings" are a total joke.

It just seems a bit silly to me to risk everything to fight something for which there is essentially no treatment and which is at this point impossible to contain. It'd be a different story if we were talking about quarantine centers where all possible precautions have been taken.

As someone who runs PCR daily I can attest to its specificity and sensitivity. The only problem is false positives due to contamination. Let me also point out if I were asked to run PCR on a possible Ebola patient I would refuse and go home on perminant vacation( mr miffed has insisted upon this) due to the fact I do not work in a BSL 4 laboratory. There are few of these at present in the USA. Healthcare workers will be potential vectors of this disease.

There is no real treatment, nothing is gained by primary diagnosis that cannot be cheaply attained by simple isolation until the disease runs its course. So I can't see where there is any way they are sending specimens to anything but a BSL-4 facility, and that only for research purposes and maybe tracking the introduction of the disease into new areas.

Imagine an Ebola + Influenza patient later this winter. They're most likely dead men/women walking but perfect breeding grounds for BILLIONS of interactions between ebola and the flu. And this could happen to thousands of people. Results?

For most RNA viruses, cross-species transmission is the most common way for a virus to enter a new host. Recombination could assist in this process because it enables viruses to explore a greater proportion of the sequence space than is accessible by mutation at any one time, thereby increasing the likelihood of finding a genetic configuration that facilitates host adaptation. Notably, many recently emerged human diseases are caused by RNA viruses that display active recombination or reassortment.

yeah, cow shit hut construction, petty graft and theft, tribalism and neo-stone age cultures are all pretty complex... A guy could earn a PHD and make a career studying them. Or distributing free shit amongst them.

that is, until he turns into a real life Kool Aid Man and red starts sloshing around and running out of him

@LFMayor
Don't waste your time with Eirik because he is nothing but a multicultural ( read for whites only) worshiper. Just take a gander at his avatar. Wonder how much he paid that Nigierian hooker to hold his child? Better yet, has that baby's mother been informed about the photo op?

What is there to understand about a history of dictatorships, ethnic cleansing and billions of dollars pissed away into corrupt states? Please inform me Eirik? Forget that, go back to your rag Huffpo and feel better about looking down upon those lesser rednecks.

They are going to measure everyone's temperature before you board - probably with the same thermometer. So if you didn't have Ebola before your flight, after you've shared that thermometer with everyone else you'll have the flu, Ebola, oral herpes, several colds ...

"I'm sorry sir, we cannot use your thermometer to measure your temperature with. Only prescribed thermometers as provided by the airlines are allowed. Please pay your $30 thermometer fee; we accept either cash or Visa."

I've read that ebola can survive for several days on dry surfaces. Hmmm most planes have dry surfaces inside them . Perhaps ocean cruises will return as the favored source of travel between the continents. Umm perhaps the norovirus could be advertised as a weight loss treatment.

Ghanaian authorities have banned all flights from Nigeria and other West African countries over concerns of an Ebola spread, the Premium Times of Nigeria has reported. the ban was part of elaborate emergency response being implemented to contain the deadly Ebola virus.

Don't think that Yukon Jack is going to go to Walmart to stock up his cabin and his boys won't be going into a Yukon school either. Besides, the Yukon is pretty isolated unless a deadly virus strikes. See the graveyards and toombstones for clues.

How is it self-limiting to warmer climes? There is plenty of coughing and sneezing and throw-upping in colder climate zones as well. Plenty of pigs to infect as well. Please explain. I would like to understand your point.

I don't understand the junkers - it was a genuinely meant question. Thanks you both HR and Kirk for the answers. About the cold temps. While it sounds plausible that there could be a slowing effect from lower activity in potential new wild animal reservoirs, I am wondering about the idea that the virus itself would be inactivated in droplets due to cold temps. The reason for this is the following paragraph:

"SURVIVAL OUTSIDE HOST: The virus can survive in liquid or dried material for a number of days..Infectivity is found to be stable at room temperature or at 4°C for several days, and indefinitely stable at -70°C. Infectivity can be preserved by lyophilisation."

Now I may totally misunderstand the term "stable" in this context, but I understand this paragraph to mean that this virus' ability to infect is degraded over time when exposed to heat/warmth, but becomes more and more stable with lower and lower temps.

A: Lower pop density. People wearing gloves and shivering -- not sweating & sliming. If you avoid the malls and elevators (as HH points out), as well as pubs+bars, those cough-borne Ebolas literally "freeze+die" in the cold air. Everything you touch in the car or bus will freeze. Bye bye baby Ebola!

Canadians and people in cold/Nordic climates are FAR more educated than the average grunt in the tropics. Traditionally, they had to be smarter and more productive, to survive the long winters. Mother Nature eliminated those who weren't. Have you actually read the stories of some of the unbelievably dumb things those sick people in Africa did, which caused them to get it and spread it?

Darwinism. Mother Nature. Cognitive abilities. World-class education. People in Nordic climates are much better at it. Not PC, but it's the truth. Sorry.

The story I heard was (non PC warning) white people lived for a long time in a region that got dark quicker than it does in Africa (i.e. we have seasons, and very short days in winter). Which meant more hours of darkness in a day, which prioritized verbal communication!

@Kirk
Absolutely correct. It does not take much smarts to reach out of your hut and grab breakfast, lunch and dinner 24/7 365 days a year, even a chimp could do that. Must be why one does not see any chimps in Canada, US or Europe in the wild, no?

"Professor Pianka said the Earth as we know it will not survive without drastic measures. Then, and without presenting any data to justify this number, he asserted that the only feasible solution to saving the Earth is to reduce the population to 10 percent of the present number.

He then showed solutions for reducing the world's population in the form of a slide depicting the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. War and famine would not do, he explained. Instead, disease offered the most efficient and fastest way to kill the billions that must soon die if the population crisis is to be solved.

Pianka then displayed a slide showing rows of human skulls, one of which had red lights flashing from its eye sockets.

AIDS is not an efficient killer, he explained, because it is too slow. His favorite candidate for eliminating 90 percent of the world's population is airborne Ebola ( Ebola Reston ), because it is both highly lethal and it kills in days, instead of years. However, Professor Pianka did not mention that Ebola victims die a slow and torturous death as the virus initiates a cascade of biological calamities inside the victim that eventually liquefy the internal organs.

After praising the Ebola virus for its efficiency at killing, Pianka paused, leaned over the lectern, looked at us and carefully said, "We've got airborne 90 percent mortality in humans. Killing humans. Think about that."

With his slide of human skulls towering on the screen behind him, Professor Pianka was deadly serious. The audience that had been applauding some of his statements now sat silent.

After a dramatic pause, Pianka returned to politics and environmentalism. But he revisited his call for mass death when he reflected on the oil situation.

"And the fossil fuels are running out," he said, "so I think we may have to cut back to two billion, which would be about one-third as many people." So the oil crisis alone may require eliminating two-third's of the world's population.

How soon must the mass dying begin if Earth is to be saved? Apparently fairly soon, for Pianka suggested he might be around when the killer disease goes to work....

When Pianka finished his remarks, the audience applauded. It wasn't merely a smattering of polite clapping that audiences diplomatically reserve for poor or boring speakers. It was a loud, vigorous and enthusiastic applause."

When is Pianka going to inject himself with Ebola to demonstrate his commitment to his own professed ideology?

Ever notice how those calling for mass death always refer to it being someone else who dies? (See jihadist serial mass murders producing a trip to Paradise, yet none of the jihadist leaders blow themselves up.)

What better way to enslave mankind then to reduce his numbers to more manageable numbers. War, crime, starvation, drugs, civil strife etc., are just to slow. TPTB need a faster and more reliable method of murder.I was taught that you reap what you sow, so I sow corn and beans and tomatoes. I wonder what those that sow ebola will reap?

Truth-seek noted that mortality from this disease is increasing at an average of 177% per month. If this were to continue unchecked, by this time next year there would be over 3 million cummulative dead. By August of 2016 there would be over 3 billion cummulative dead and by September of 2016 there would be nearly 6 billion cummulative dead. That's just simple math, but I don't think epidemics follow a linear progression, I think when graphed they look more like a bell curve, which means this timeline is off considerably. I think that guy in New York City has it or we would have heard that he was negative by now, so its here already in an area of high population density.

Seems to me... If we don't already have ebola carriers in multiple cities in the USSA, it could only be because the jihadis don't actually care enough to do it, which would mean that the whole War On Terror is a PR campaign with little or no actual threat to the people here.

True that. I've used the "war on drugs" as my example for years. We put how much money towards keeping drugs out? Yet I can get anything I want whenever I want it. So we can't keep drugs out, but we are able to keep terrorists out? Sure. So we either A. aren't really trying to keep drugs out, or B. there aren't really any terrorists who want in or C. Both A&B.

The Islamic nations that may or may not be funding the Ts are the most stringent in locking down flights from areas with the disease. They are at least smart enough to release biowar is not controllable. Only a lunatic would intentionally use a bioweapon.

I've said the same for decades- if there were really terrorist that wanted to take down the US, It wouldn't even take a cell, a lone operative with a book of matches could drive across the USA in a matter of days setting large scale forest fires that would completely overwhelm the ability of firefighters.

A small cell could take down the electric grid in three to five hours in a coordinated attack.

Both of those would catastrophic, yet they are so simple to achieve that the mind is boggled as to why they haven't been done if there really are boogeymen terrorists here In the USA under every rock.

That's obviously only two ways to bring the USA to the brink, I'm sure creative minds could come up with many, many more.

Geez...can a guy just finish one cup of coffee in the morning without getting hit in the face with gloom and doom? I think I'll click on HuffPo to get something a little lighter.......SHIT! I'm going back to bed.

Ron Paul, as much as I do like him, wouldn't have made it through his first term. If he did make it through the first term then we would be seeing these same policies we see today from O. Call me a pessimist if you want. I prefer realist.

Just because you can prove mathmatically that something can happen doesn't mean that it will. There are many factors at work here. Health care quality differences between Africa and USA/ Europe etc just to name one.

You can see the numbers of infected and dead are increasing much much quicker. we are still at a very low total number for both. BUT- something greater than 25% of those (admitted) totals are from the last 11 days.

This is happening- not will it happen. The question for the future is will it continue to happen, and at what rate.
